Counter / cooperate relationship

Matchups

Counters

Cyclops' short skill cooldown makes him strong against mid-ranged heroes with poor Mobility, such as Terizla and Alpha.

Countered by

Cyclops lacks Dash or Blink skills, making him the preferred target for heroes with gap closers and CC skills. Such as Lancelot, Alucard and Kagura.

Compatibility

Cyclops is best with tanky heroes with strong CC skills, like Belerick and Minsitthar.

Official combos

Combos

TEAMFIGHT COMBOS

In teamfights, Cyclops should control the target enemy with his Ultimate, close in with his 2nd Skill, then finish off the target with his 1st Skill.

LANING COMBOS

Cyclops can use his 2nd Skill to close in on enemy heroes then hit them with both his 1st Skill and the spheres summoned by his 2nd Skill. This combo is very effective against enemy heroes.
